    It's a stupid idea. Having gates up in Glenomena isn't going to make me feel any safer.

    At the very least you should be able to sign in a guest, like in Trinity Halls. Say if you lived in Wicklow/Kildare and commute to college, but it's too long a journey home after a night out. The new rule means that you can't stay in someone's gaff on campus for the night.

    I don't know any resident who is happy or feels safer about this. No consultation whatsoever.

    its not a new rule its always been a rule its just that it will be enforced from now on. its a €100 fine.

    one of my roomates friends spent the night just before the end of sem 1 and he got caught.

    Not in use until September or so I heard.

    I don't think they are there to give people a warm feeling. Maybe to cut down on the burglaries and shenanigans?

    I still think the focus shouldn't be on the gates themselves but on negotiating reasonable changes to the res rules on visitors and guests etc, there's bound to be some wiggle room and it's an area where the SU could make a difference. A lot of the existing res rules are pretty draconian I think but there was no notice taken of them before, since they weren't being enforced....

    They've got cameras watching the gates now.
    They've said they won't be closing to gates until September, so maybe the cameras are to stop people stealing/damaging the gates, but if they try to blindside us... we will not be happy.

    Don't live on campus but saw the letter they got in Glenomena today. Rules kicking in tonight.

    No guests will be admitted between 11pm and 7am, with all guests having to be off campus by 11:30pm. There was some kind of warning about drunken behaviour. Also something about monitoring access to residence carparks from 2pm (or maybe 4pm) onwards. Only staff and students allowed in.

    I think it's written into licence to reside that overnight guests etc not permitted, but dont think they should begin forcing the rule at this stressful stage of the year...!


    I used to work as an RA. I could tell you a lot about what goes on. I wont mention names but a certain somebody in the Belfield section has a soft spot for some of, well, our Eastern friends. It used be that they could get away with whatever they wanted. Glad to see the job is finally being done properly.

    When I lived in Digs, it was a pain in the ass when one of the girls brought people back. It was always the same hop-head Liberal bull****ters....it was not a case of there being people there, just the sort they were. I guess UCD is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. No people means no wankas.
